Alex is here to Support our discussions and Diane: Finding my yoga practice connected me to a place within me that I hadn't realized I was disconnected from. It created the foundation for me to expand my awareness and take accountability for my healing, allowing me to work through emotional and physical trauma, as well as the every life stressors. I would love to share this gift with you and help you to discover how to live life from an authentic place.
